"Minneapolis is quickly establishing itself as a hotbed of design intelligence, and Askov Finlayson is a prime example,” Neil Blumenthal, Warby Parker co-founder and co-CEO, said in a statement.

“We couldn’t think of a friendlier partner for putting down roots in Minneapolis," Blumenthal added, according to City Pages.
